    "Sec. 37.  RCW 70.155.030 and 1994 c 202 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) No person shall sell or permit to be sold any tobacco product through any device that mechanically dispenses tobacco products unless the device is located fully within premises from which minors are prohibited or in industrial worksites where minors are not employed and not less than ten feet from all entrance or exit ways to and from each premise.  The board shall adopt rules that allow an exception to the requirement that a device be located not less than ten feet from all entrance or exit ways to and from a premise if it is architecturally impractical for the device to be located not less than ten feet from all entrance and exit ways.

(2) Beginning January 1, 2003, rules adopted pursuant to subsection (1) of this section must prohibit self-service displays of tobacco products.  In-store tobacco products in places where food is sold or stored for public consumption must be displayed in a manner that is not accessible to the general public without the assistance of the retailer or an employee of the retailer.  This section does not apply to retailers who sell tobacco products exclusively nor to sales within premises where minors are prohibited by statute."
